FROSINONE MUNICIPALITY

Successful Teamwork

The successful outcome of the project was made possible by the collaboration of various key players, including the ESCo Engie Italia, the Municipality, the A3S design studio, and the Astronomical Observatory that oversaw the control of light pollution. The project was managed in a holistic way, from the survey of existing lighting fixtures to the installation and management of new ones.

The use of full cut-off optics has almost eliminated the direct dispersion of light upwards. We noticed a recovery in terms of visibility of about 0.5 magnitudes compared to the city center previously. We have seen a real commitment to the protection of the night sky.

The focus was on respecting the city’s identity at night, with customized lighting solutions designed for the different urban areas. The project resulted in safe and efficient lighting, improved air quality, and a reduction in CO₂ emissions and oil consumption. The use of full cut-off optics greatly reduced the upward dispersion of light.

With the addition of video surveillance, Wi-Fi, sound diffusion, and electric vehicle charging, Frosinone has become a “smart city.” The project achieved a significant energy saving of over 60%, leading to simplified and efficient maintenance. Now, citizens can appreciate the city’s beauty and the starry sky at night, as the project has reconnected them to their public space.

Frosinone’s sky at night, so dark and vast, Stars glittering, a sight that will last, No longer ignored, their beauty restored, Identity preserved, the darkness adored.
